For myself, I might make one small change, replacing,<BR/><BR/>"My head is big, my clothes a mess,<BR/>The relationship one sided."<BR/><BR/>... with the thematically more complex,<BR/><BR/>"My head is big, so is my chest,<BR/>The two a bit lop-sided."<BR/><BR/>This has the virtue of adding a horizontal dimension to the poem which is as substantial as the vertical conundrum that you pose.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770384445526387065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-1152228944192528662006-07-07T09:35:00.000+10:002006-07-07T09:35:00.000+10:00Lillie: I think more than half the posts have othe...Lillie: I think more than half the posts have other inspiration. The worry of doing too many vignettes is the effect on those who miss out for no reason but my own creative failings.
